I ordered this with one of the sales discounts. I had looked at it for sometime. I was impressed with some of the video reviews of this knife. It has a nice feel to it. It is not a "cheap" knife. This is a value added knife in my opinion. A great combat knife in a dagger mode - made for stabbing. The blade was sharp. This will not disappoint.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I have both versions of the blade and I love the black one more. I love how it look and it's also a tough blade. The grip is nice and textured for good grip. It comes sharp enogh to cut paper but it could be sharpened even more if need to. I am very happy with this blade. I know it's only 440 but is well made and I am sure the tempering treatment is far better than other budget knives.

This blade is awesome. Strong light balanced and is a true killing tool. Might be useful for some light bush craft, but the weight is perfect for combat and that's how it fits in my system. A simple adjustment of the sheath allows fast draw. The sheath is not well designed in regards to this style guard. By snapping the retainer on the belt loop side the blade will catch and not release w/o a firm draw. Have heard that this is a budget knife. Have found it to be one of the best I have purchased at any price. Highly recommend this one.

Got it in the mail yesterday and man is it huge!! Mine didn't come all that sharp but I can fix that with a little time. Love the shape, handle and non-glare finish. My only concern is that the hilt has some noticeable play in it. Not sure if I should return it or not.

My first impression when I pulled this blade out of the box was "woah, this is huge!". the size of the knife is incredible, and it came out incredibly sharp. The full tang really adds to the feel of the whole blade. I heard a lot of complaint about the handle, but personally, I like it. A great buy, must get.

I love the length of this blade. I am buying another one, only this time, it will be the steel version, not the black. Like the blade overall, but handle feels odd, perhaps the slippery aspect to the handle. None of the factory oil for the blade dripped onto the handle, it is just made of a weird to the touch textured rubber. Not saying it should give me blisters, but a better grip feel would be nice. The only other aspect to this blade would be a sheath that didn't have an automatic hand guard catch built in. The sheath is nice, thick, well constructed, and I'm sure that other knife fighters like myself will agree, that the button clasp should have been mounted behind the leather, not closest to the surface by the hole. It catches the cross guard too easy. I still give it a hefty 5 points as most of the cons are based on functional preference.

I am very pleased with this knife. I purchased the other version and wanted a low reflectivity knife for night carry so I purchased this knife based on the quality and usefulness of the aforementioned knife.

This is a very good quality, solid knife. I have the same version in plain Stainless. I carry this black knife at night when walking my dogs in my backyard. I had concerns about the reflectivity of the Stainless finish version and when this version was available I bought one and it is Very good at remaining undetected in low light.
